Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | Brene is great and has done a few TED talks. I'm lucky to have TEDtv as one of my Roku channels and watch it often. I'm a fan of Brene's and enjoyed this talk and her talk on Shame. Great share Anne-Marie!

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Just watched/listened to the one on "Shame" - Another great one! - Thanks, Eric. I like how she ends her talk when she refers to the most powerful two words: "me too". It so exemplifies what we do here on OCF and because of our shared experiences, the "me too" really is powerful and inspiring!
